Being an avid Pastafarian, I of course wondered why no challenger to the FSM has been presented. Of course as a rule of the internet, a challenger always appears. So I got together with a few Pastafarian buddies of mine and we set out to search for the "Anti-pasta". Of course it was hard to figure out what could counter such a benevolent and infinitely delicious force. We came to the conclusion that it must be related to the fall of the pirates. We had of course many ideas, the kraken among them, but none really fit the bill. Disheartened of our failed search we later went to see Prince Caspian. And oddly enough we found the anti-pasta in the movie. In fact the anti-pasta declares itself in the end. In the end of Prince Caspian Aslan states that the origins of the Telmarines lie in PIRATES taken from this world. That's right Bobby, the anti-pasta is Aslan. I submit to you we as Pastafarians take a stand against all that is related to Aslan.

Working on the comic book principal that your arch-enemy is similar to the hero, I would suggest that the anti-pasta is carbohydrate based also.

For me the prime suspect has to be some sort of mashed potato beast.

This is serious religion not comic books. He helped bring down the pirates by stealing them from this world and taking them to Narnia. With their depleted numbers they obviously lost power and thus started dieing out.

Considering the science basis for pastafarianism, I think it is only fair to propose that the anti-pasta may be precisely that... pasta made from anti-matter. If a matter based flying spaghetti monster is good, an anti-matter FSM would logically be bad. Furthermore, since both matter and anti-matter are supposed to be present in equal amounts in the universe and yet there seems to be a clear abundance of matter, I propose that the FSM has already done battle with and conquered the anti-pasta but was so horrified by the necessary act that he chooses not to talk about it.

Now taking into account that there is no Hell in the pastafarian ethos , just Heaven - Lite when the Beer is not so good, the Strippers are ugly and you can't really see the stage, should we peruse the idea of an arch enemy of Our Lord The Flying Spaghetti monster?I spend a lot of time arguing the the Pastors of Landover Baptist Church about the existence of Hell and the alternative of Heaven - Lite.

All these things mentioned in this thread may be incarnations or representations of the anti-pasta, but ultimately the anti-pasta is just anything that goes against the FSM and basic Pastafarian teachings.
